Resurrection
Ok. Don’t fall off your seats. I know, I know… it has only been a whole 365 days since I last blogged. But hey, I’m seizing this opportunity to give myself a big boot up the backside to resurrect it. The opportunity? Laryngitis (I don’t even know if I’ve spelt it right! Let’s just call him Larry). For a few days now I have completely lost my voice. Like, completely. At last! Peace on earth!
Larry has taught me the value of speech! Something I so took for granted prior to losing it! Having my voice COMPLETELY GONE for days now means I haven’t been able to participate normally in conversations, or order something when I’m at the shops! I’m praying that my voice will be preserved for the long run so that I can continue to communicate the Gospel! Otherwise, I might have to resort to interpretive dancing. I don’t think the world is quite ready for any dancing from me.
Shirls and Chris have shared some stuff about the LC (Leaders Conference) in Hong Kong and our trip to Singapore. So much took place in my heart over the 8 days I was in the 2 countries I don’t know where to start sharing!
Of the 4 amazing days I spent in Singapore (seriously, it felt more like a month!) and the amazing experiences and stuff I absorbed, not to mention the amount of food I consumed, the highlight (and a personal defining moment) for me was when Torch, Chris and I were standing at the back of Nexus during the Holy Spirit baptism at Metamorphosis. Before my eyes were 130 new believers, so sincere in their newfound relationship with God. I was blown away most at the knowledge that the harvest before my eyes was a result of the dedication, hard work and faith of a handful of leaders who saw the harvest even before it was reaped. That answered questions I had been asking God about how much more I should give to the kingdom.
So much more I could waffle on about (to make up for my loss of speech for the past few days! I miss talking!). The HK part of the trip will have to wait till another day.
For now, I’ll sum in up in these words from Ps Jeff’s message at the LC in Hong Kong:
” We believe in God so much. This is why we work hard.”
